Like Spring inevitably turns into Summer, once again the art school degree show season is upon us. The exhibitions are usually the entry-level stage for emerging artists and have had a good track record for launching new talent. It is also one of the best ways to keep abreast of current and future trends in contemporary arts. Visual Art students are given the opportunity to present to the public the work that has formed the basis of their degrees. The shows are always interesting and the range of media is extensive from painting, sculpture, print, photography, video, performance art, multi-media, textiles – all using a wide range of materials and subject matter.
Here is a comprehensive list of all the major London degree art shows scheduled for the summer. The list is not complete so keep checking back for updates and additions.
